Ilker Acar

I am a software engineer and I currently live in San Francisco. I'm originally from Ankara, Turkey.

Professional

I'm going to join Facebook as Software Engineer in June 2015.

Until April 2015, I worked at Microsoft Corp. since September 2009. Some of the cool products I worked @ Microsoft are; Outlook.com (a.k.a Hotmail), Bing Twitter Maps, SQL Server and Docs.com (Docs for Facebook)

I graduated from Bilkent Univerisity with B.S.c in Computer Technology and Information Systems. Then, I got my Masters in Boston University in Computer Information Systems.

During my study @ Bilkent University, I worked as Microsoft Student Partner (MSP) in 2007.

Personal

I try to be active as much as possible. I like fitness, hiking, watching Netflix, reading about random stuff, and Nutella :) I spend money on some useless stuff often mostly @ Amazon. I buy books, and feel good but never get to finish them :( (I finished some of them though) I like cooking and some friends told me that they like my food. I guess they are too nice. No particular taste of music. It could be anything. From soundtrack to house music, an R & B to classic music.
